Charlie awkwardly apologizes to Vickie when she tells him she has to leave.
He can’t even try to pretend he doesn’t know why she leaving. He desperately wants her to stay, but knows how unfair it would be to ask that of her.
He goes back to drinking, smoking, and obsessing about Audrey.
Lyrics:
Oh Vickie, I wish you could see just how sorry you've made me. Truth is I may never see just exactly who is Audrey.
Charlie:
The plight of living with the knowledge of you. I'm a struggler straying from course, with a haze of regret clouding his vision. And so far there's no sign of you and I at any time down this line, so distant still, and I'm not fine. I'm seeing either her or death, and I'm rushing forward, and falling backward in time, and I'm running out of half-assed rhymes.
Vickie:
The plight of loving loving someone like you. My struggler straying from course, with a haze of regret clouding your vision. And so far there's no sign of you and I at any time down this line, so distant still, and I'm not fine. You're seeing either her or death, and rushing forward, and falling backward in time, but you can't see me so of course I'm leaving.
